He grew up in Rootstown, Ohio, and graduated from Rootstown High School in 2008. He earned his undergraduate degree in nursing from Capital University in 2012, where he was a member of the football and track teams. He later achieved his Master of Education in Athletic Administration from William Woods University in June 2020. In 2023, he achieved national certification as a Certified Athletic Administrator (CAA) from the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (NIAAA).
Troy Spiker believes that leadership centers on building strong relationships, honesty, and transparency across departments and community organizations.

He is dedicated to enhancing the experiences and memories of young students through athletics. One of his notable initiatives includes the expansion and redesign of Crestwood's Athletic Wall of Fame, which grew from 37 to 111 honorees, celebrating All-Ohio student-athletes and inspiring current and future students.
Beyond his professional responsibilities, Troy enjoys spending quality time with his wife, Samantha; their daughter, Oaklynn; and their dog, Ryder. They reside in Uniontown, Ohio, and cherish camping trips during the summer months.
